Back to normal Ever so slowly I think that I am starting to feel human again. The last two days of my work week really threw off my internal clock. Why this happened is because I ended up working late on both days. Two more hours might not seem like that much, but it does still cut into my fragile sleep routine. At the last minute my boss asked to me to stay late on Friday morning. There was something called fire training that he wanted me to attend before I left for the day. What this meant is that I stayed for two hours so I could learn how to use a fire extinguisher. They even had us practice on a real fire that they had started in the parking lot. Two people would put the fire out and then they would relight it for the next pair of people. It was okay, but my sleep had been cut short the previous night due to the Rollins show. Then I had to stay late on Saturday due to an emergency at work. I couldn't leave when there was a major problem going on, because I just wouldn't have felt right about it. I neglected to mention that Brenda called me late Wednesday night shortly before I went to work. I would have mentioned it in the entry for Thursday, but I was so out of it that I forgot. Instead I uploaded a throw away entry. She wanted to quit her job. In fact she had almost quit before she called me. It seems that they took away her vacation from her. She was to have taken it before the end of October, but she thinks that she is getting it back or at the very least she has demanded to get it back. They also established a new schedule that she refuses to work. She would have to work every Saturday which she said that she would not do. Then the rest of the week was an unpleasant mixture of days and nights that further upset her. All of this caused her to tear into her boss, which is not hard for me to imagine. The stress is really getting to her and she does not like her job anymore. They are taking advantage of her and she has reached her breaking point. I want her to go work somewhere else, but she doesn't know where she wants to go. I'm not sure what else I can say to make her feel better. All that I can do is listen.
